Make
- In a saucepan, combine lima beans, water and butter. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until lima beans are tender (~10 minutes for fresh and ~5 minutes for frozen). Remove the cover and continue cooking until excess water has cooked off. Add onions and corn and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender, ~3 minutes. Add mint and a squeeze of lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside, covered.
- While the succotash is cooking, toss chicken in flour (in a mixing bowl or plastic bag). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the herb butter to the hot pan. Cook chicken until it's no longer pink or to 165F / 74C, ~4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to serving dish.
- Increase heat to high, and add add remaining herb butter and tomatoes to pan. Saute until tomatoes begin to blacken in spots, ~4 minutes. Enjoy chicken with tomatoes over top and succotash on the side!

The succotash wasn't that great. I think in the future, I would just buy pre-made frozen and use that. The tomato-herb pan sauce was amazing though.
0 HelpfulMy husband and I loved this entire meal. We'd avoided it, because it didn't sound great, but once again Cook Smarts surprised us with something we would never have cooked on our own.
0 HelpfulI decided that I didn't like this one way before I tried it because it took an eternity to get it on the table. It ended up being pretty good, but I will never make it again. The leftovers did not reheat well either.
